The Sharing Knife: Passage (Volume 3‪)‬

Fawn’s farmer family have a guarded acceptance of Dag as Fawn’s husband, but when the couple travel to Dag’s Lakewalker camp, the couple is greeted with outright hostility and threatened exile.  When word of malices attacking a neighboring area reaches the camp, the couple leave to fight the malices.  Overcoming prejudice is a theme handled deftly in this second volume of The Sharing Knife.

Lois McMaster Bujold was born in 1949, the daughter of an engineering professor at Ohio State University, from whom she picked up her early interest in science fiction.  She now lives in Minneapolis, and has two grown children.  She began writing with the aim of professional publication in 1982.  She wrote three novels in three years; in October of 1985, all three sold to Baen Books, launching her career. Bujold went on to write many other books for Baen, mostly featuring her popular character Miles Naismith Vorkosigan, his family, friends, and enemies.  Her books have been translated into over twenty languages.  Her fantasy from Eos includes the award-winning Chalion series and the Sharing Knife series.  In 2020, Bujold received the Damon Knight Grand Master Memorial Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America. www.dendarii.com
